Deskbird acquires French company Hubtobee

Deskbird is the workplace management app that puts employees first on its mission to advance workplaces around the world. Known for its “as easy as it gets”-user experience, deskbird allows employees to check the office occupancy, see where their colleagues are at, plan their week accordingly, and book desks, meeting rooms, or even parking spots. Among its 1000 customers are companies like Carrefour, Decathlon, AON, and Unicef, which trust Deskbird to implement a flexible office, coordinate employees returning to the office more often, optimize the office space, and save costs on lease and energy.

In a strategic move to expand and improve its offering, Deskbird has welcomed Hubtobee to its family, strengthening its capabilities in Meeting Room Booking, Interactive Floor Plans, Office Events, and Microsoft Teams App with Hubtobee’s innovative approach to the management of hybrid work policies and its long-standing exclusive partnership with global payroll giant ADP. 

Founded in 2015, Hubtobee aimed to optimize business travel expenses by cultivating collective intelligence across organizations. In 2020, the company introduced its hybrid work management solution and has since been dedicated to reviving enterprises’ internal sense of community by fostering in-person collaboration and empowering team leaders. Currently, over 50,000 users, including employees, team leaders, HR, and travel managers, rely on Hubtobee - this clientele will be added to Deskbird’s customer base. 

Louis de Veron, CEO of Hubtobee, expressed his enthusiasm for this acquisition, fully supporting Deskbird’s vision to promote flexible working environments on a global scale. “We are thrilled to join Deskbird, whose aspiration is to become a number-one platform in hybrid workspace management worldwide. With this acquisition, I am confident that our HR management component will seamlessly complement Deskbird’s existing value proposition, perfectly catering to all our clients’ needs.”

Ivan Cossu, CEO of Deskbird, expressed his enthusiasm: “We keep pushing the pedal to the metal – welcoming Hubtobee into our family is yet another step on our growth journey. It increases our presence in France tremendously. The pairing of Hubtobee’s strengths with our own will benefit our client base very shortly and will make Deskbird even more attractive for organizations who are looking to coordinate their workforce better and optimize their office usage.”
